Hino Trucks in the New Year at the Dakar 2012 Rally
Always in pursuit of his dreams, Yoshimasa Sugawara is now 70 years old. He will probably be the oldest of all racers in the upcoming race. Although the fight will not be easy, we are confident that he and his son, Teruhito Sugawara, who lead HINO TEAM SUGAWARA, will fulfill their goals in South America once again.
As riders prepare themselves for the start of the Dakar 2012 Race we would like to wish them a “Happy New Year” and hope that all will have the greatest experience of their life’s at this years Dakar 2012 Rally!
